Today was a really wonderful day! It started with a trip to the Strathcona farmers’ market, which I haven’t been to since I moved to Edmonton. I know, I know … I have no excuse. I discovered a bunch of local food suppliers and artisans. Then, I took part in the Cash Mob on 124th Street; it was an event to bring shoppers into an area that has been hit hard by the closure of a nearby bridge. I discovered even more places that I need to visit again. Then ended up at West Edmonton Mall, which is usually one of the lower rings of hell at Christmas time; however, I was in such good Christmas cheer by that point that I didn’t mind walking around and window shopping.
